Motorola WS5100 manual Configuring External Hotspot, Main Logo URL, Descriptive Text

4-32WS5100 Series Switch System Reference Guide

Main Logo URL	Displays the URL for the main logo image displayed on the Failed page when using the
	switch’s internal Web server. This option is only available if Internal is chosen from the drop-
	down menu above.
Descriptive Text	Specify any additional text containing instructions or information for the users who access
	the Failed page. This option is only available if Internal is chosen from the drop-down menu
	above. The default text is: “Either the username and password are invalid, or service is
	unavailable at this time.”

4.Refer to the Allow List field, and enter any IP address (for internal or external Web sites) that may be accessed by the Hotspot user without authentication.

NOTE: In certain instances, an associated MU may not be able to ping the host within the hotspot. For instance, a hotspot supported WLAN is enabled. Within the Allowed List, a network (157.235.95.0) is added. An MU is associated, and an IP address is obtained for the MU. The MU is then unsuccessful in pinging the host IP address (157.235.95.54) from within the hotspot. Consequently, the Allowed List should be used for host IPs only.

5.Refer to the Status field for the current state of the requests made from applet. This field displays error messages if something goes wrong in the transaction between the applet and the switch.

6.Click OK to use the changes to the running configuration and close the dialog.

7.Click Cancel to close the dialog without committing updates to the running configuration.

Configuring External Hotspot

1.Select Network > Wireless LANs from the main menu tree. Select an existing WLAN from those displayed within the Configuration tab and click the Edit button.
